6. What's the scariest moment you've ever had to live through?
Recently, I was surf camping on an island in Mexico and had a severe allergic reaction. I was covered in hives and going in anaphylaxis and there was nothing I could do — no cell reception, no medicine, no EpiPen. I just had to stay calm, try and breathe and wait for the boat to show up so I could get help.

7. What goes through your head when you're skiing down a particularly intense slope?
Wheeeeeee!!!

8. What was your biggest adrenaline rush to date?
â¨Jumping out of a hovering helicopter onto a knife edge with 60-degree slopes that fed into crevasses on each side. I was like, "I better not mess this up because I'll probably die." But I knew I had it so it was fun.

9. If you could be teleported to any spot on Earth right now, where would you want to go?
The Hanson brothers' bedroom. Just kidding. Probably Bali to surf lefts!

11. Any girl crushes you wanna shout out?â¨â¨Julia Mancuso: BFF, Olympic gold medalist, confident, encouraging and loving. Brinkley Davies: Marine biologist, surfer, ocean activist. She uses her voice to protect the ocean and ocean animals. She's beautiful inside and out.
Circe Wallace: My agent, who represents the best action sports talent in the world. She's a former professional snowboarder, mother, and boss business woman who walks the walk. She always encourages me to move from a place of love and integrity. These kind of relationships and mentors are invaluable as a young women and female athlete.
